The height of an object thrown upward from the floor of a canyon 106 ft deep, with an initial velocity of 120 ft per second, is

given by the equation h=-16x^(2)+120x-106, where h represents the height of the object in feet after x second. How long will it take the object to rise to the height of the canyon wall?

Explanation:

The height of an object thrown upward from the floor of a canyon 106 ft deep, with an initial velocity of 120 ft per second. The equation is given by :

h=-16x^2+120x-106

Since, the depth of the canyon is (-106 feet) and the time taken by the object to rise to the height of the canyon wall is calculated as :

h = 0

-16x^2+120x-106=0    

On solving the above quadratic equation,

x₁ = 1.023 seconds

and

x₂ = 6.477 seconds

So, the time taken by the object to rise to the height of the canyon wall is 1.023 seconds (ignoring 6.477 seconds). Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

When does the most significant drop in physical activity typically occur in people's lives?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Later high school years and freshman year of college

Explanation:

The transition from high school to college is an important developmental milestone that holds the potential for personal growth and behavioral change.  A cohort of 2,025 students was recruited during the summer before they matriculated into college and completed Internet-based surveys about their participation in a variety of behavioral risks during the last three months of high school and throughout the first year of college. Alcohol use, marijuana use, and sex with multiple partners increased during the transition from high school to college, whereas driving after drinking, aggression, and property crimes decreased. Those from rural high schools and those who elected to live in private dormitories in college were at highest risk for heavy drinking and driving after drinking.
